    Silverstone FT02 & GTX480 SLI

    Looking at the FT02, and instant problem I see.. 7 expansion slots.

    Running with an Asus Rampage II Extreme, I want the cards spaced between eachother, not stacked as I'm running now and making massive amounts of heat.

    Does anyone run 480s in SLI with this case? Would it trouble you guys to post some pics?

    Awesome. How are they running?

    I'm running the stock coolers of course, with my current HAF932 OG and their giving me some issues with heat. I have them undervolted at stock clocks right now and the top card is still hitting 82-85c in games like Metro 2033, and it's cool in my house. When summer comes I fear the worst.

    Just wanted some user experience with the case. Reviews sometimes say one thing and then user experience says the opposite.

    700 core, lowered Vcore, stock cooling,no temp issues.
    Not the most silent solution, but a hell of a lot GFX-power.

    haha, I'm running them the same way. How low did you get that Vcore?
    I'm running 1000mv w/ stock clocks (700 core)

    What temps are you getting under load?

    Around 75C, with modified fan profile, 40%-40C / 100%-85C. Fans are audible, but not irri loud.
    990mV(Very early editions,orange PCB`s)

    Not bad.
    I just switched my top card and bottom card and got 2-3c off my load temps. By the time summer comes i'll order a case, probably the FT02 unless the TJ11 suddenly drops to $300
